My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

FLASH is an approximately 1.5 year-old male miniature poodle who loves everyone he meets even after being abandoned

He is almost house trained and loves to play with dogs and toys.

He also wants to play with the cats he is living with but they don't want to be bothered by a puppy so they ignore him. He is learning to walk on a leash and patiently waits for his harness to be put on him before he goes out the door.

He insists on sleeping cuddled up to his foster mom and likes to be held when she is watching tv.

FLASH would do well in a home with either another dog or on his own. He would be great for a person who wants a dog but doesn't have a lot of time to walk them as short trips around the block are perfect for him because he has one leg that doesn't work very well and he compensates for it easily by holding it off the ground and only placing it on the ground when he's standing still. He loves running zoomies around the garden and was named FLASH by the shelter because of the speed at which he ran around with only three good legs. He climbs stairs easily and is highly intelligent.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Our process begins with an online pre adoption questionnaire followed by a telephone interview
Once both have been completed we consider suitability and if we feel the adoption candidate is a potential match we arrange a meet and greet with the dog you are interested in
From there we schedule a home visit and check personal and veterinary references.

Go meet their pets

All our dogs are in foster homes so meet and greets are by appointment only

Foster Homes
Sadly, each new day brings a flood of emails and telephone pleas to help yet another abandoned dear dog. We try and help these displaced dogs through our rescue efforts and networking. We are always in search of new foster homes where a dog can be cared for and loved until a permanent home is found. Speaking of Dogs Rescue covers food, medical attention and all the supplies required for the dogs in foster care. Foster parents need be responsible and patient people who will provide a safe environment for our dogs. A foster contract must be signed. This is a serious responsibility; however the experience is very rewarding. If you can open your heart and home to a foster dog please contact us. We have a comprehensive Foster Manual available for people who are considering becoming a foster parent.
